The retiree at the Flagstaff library who filmed a kid's skateboard trick and got 2 million views
I met a retired man named Gerald at the Flagstaff public library back in March, and he showed me his phone because he could not figure out why it kept buzzing. He had filmed a kid landing a skateboard trick outside the window on a total whim, just 11 seconds of shaky video, and posted it because his grandson told him that was how you share things now. Two million views later, he was getting interview requests from local news and had no idea what a repost even was. He asked me if he should delete it, and I told him people would probably keep sharing it whether he did or not. What would you have told him to do with all that sudden attention?
